TRP Spyre SLC Mechanical Flat Mount Disc Brake Caliper

Still going strong.

Even when road or 'cross course conditions are rapidly deteriorating, you can still corner with confidence when you have TRP's Spyre SLC Mechanical Flat Mount Disc Brake Caliper. The bite is positive and the modulation is generous, giving you just the amount of speed-scrubbing control you need to ensure you don't overcook a corner and end up in the brush.

Compared to the standard Spyre, the Spyre SLC Flat Mount's incorporation of a carbon actuation lever trims a bit of weight and actually makes for more responsive braking. The Spyre SLC Flat Mount's even braking is no doubt helped by its dual-side actuation, which lets both pads squeeze instead of leaving one fixed. Less pad wear, less rotor wear, less potential for warping—the benefits of dual-sided actuation are legion.

I love mech disc brakes

Pros:
-I can use my 11 speed mechanical brifters with zero issues with these
-It's easy to swap shifters if need be
-Easy to set up
-Zero rotor rub
-Much easier to fine tune the pad clearance and modulation IMO
-DON'T HAVE TO BLEED THEM!!!
Cons:
-Not trendy
-Not flashy
-Won't be helping the two big S companies make loads of money off you (maybe this is a plus)
-Not a closed system, so may accumulate dirt/grime affecting performance

Best Mechanical Disc brakes!

I've had several sets of these and they are by far the best mechanical disc brakes. These new flatmount brakes are have a sleek look and work great! One note, these come with ZERO mounting hardware or adapters for 160 rotors.

Will these work with Shimano shifters, specifically 105 ST-R7000 shifters?

Hey Mark, these brake calipers do not come with rotors. You would need to order the TRP rotors separately. If you have more questions please give me a call.
